Try skimming the stimulus again. There may be a key detail you are not understanding or paying attention to. This strategy works for me.

PT14.S2.Q06 - Some Scientist believe that the.

Hello fellow 7Sagers! I figured we were all in this LSAT Journey together, so I decided to create this discussion thread for this particular question/type. I did get the answer correct, so in this thread I will be going through my thought process; I am open to advice.

Answer Choice A - Incorrect. Why? It is irrelevant to the naturalists' claim.

Answer Choice B - Incorrect. Why? Optimum means "best." Therefore, since the claim is about the survival and adaptability of mice, how is it supporting the naturalists' claim?

*Answer Choice C - Incorrect. Why? Though the fossil remains do in fact prove that mice are able to survive and adapt, the mention of harsh and unbearable weather for human conditions is mentioned in the conclusion/claim, thus making the answer choice incorrect and irrelevant. (Someone discuss this with me please! I almost got tripped up with this one. How can I avoid that?).

Answer Choice D - Correct. Why? Shows that mice are able to adapt and survive in harsh climates by providing an example that is deadly for human life (i.e., Antarctica).

Answer Choice E - Incorrect. Why? It is irrelevant to the claim.

This question was more on the easier side, but - for right now - these are the question types I need to focus on. If you have any tips for strengthening questions, once again, I am open to advice!

Take your time. The LSAT is not a sprint; it's a marathon.

Be familiar with the list of premise and conclusion indicators. However, do not depend on the list for all MP questions - especially the more difficult ones. Sometimes you will have to ask yourself "What is the author trying to tell me?" or "What is the big/bigger idea?" as you read. From there, you should be able to start deciphering.

I understand what you are going through! For a while, I had to get used to my work schedule and got overwhelmed because I felt I was neglecting my main goal - the LSAT. But now that I have settled, I try to study for at least two hours per day - maybe three.

I drill questions for about an hour. After drilling, I strictly go over the questions I missed for about 30-45 minutes (BR is OK, but I tend to second-guess myself, so I avoid using that strategy - especially for LR). For the questions I answered correctly, I write down my thought process.

For the remaining amount of time, I review concepts either from Powerscore, Brad Barbay, and of course 7Sage.

Be sure to take notes. It's all about the small victories; trust the process.
